PUPILS at St Mary’s CofE Primary School and Nursery in Writhlington, Radstock, were honoured to be a part of a festive film release as they join other local schools in virtual song for Christmas.

Three Church of England primary schools in Bath & North East Somerset have released a joint festive film to ‘virtually’ celebrate Christmas together.

With rising transport costs, and the rural location of the schools, it was proving difficult for the schools to meet and share a Christmas service.

Therefore pupils from Cameley CEVC Primary School and Nursery in Temple Cloud, Marksbury CofE Primary School near Bath, and St Mary’s CofE Primary School and Nursery in Writhlington, Radstock, filmed their own rendition of ‘Midnight’ a Christmas song, which has been edited into a single film.
